A novel graphical authentication system for secure banking systems

摘要

Password authentication, often used for providing secured service, tend to face problems such as entering the incorrect password while logging in or while encountering an unauthorized access. The proposed system allows the user to choose a meaningful, sensible password which is easy to remember than the regular pattern of alphanumeric characters. It can be implemented on a range of mobile applications and devices, enriching the user's convenience since security is an important factor to be considered in today's world. To avoid the attackers from observing the password when the user is inputting, the system implements a technique termed Pass Matrix wherein the rows and columns filled with data. The system gives no clue for attackers even after the camera-based attacks. Experimental results are proved to show no sign of attacks, which portrays its efficiency. The system also provides features to access the user's account if he/she forgets the password. So, it can be concluded that the proposed system provides better resistance to shoulder surfing attacks thereby maintaining usability.
